7 MONTHS --- I NO LONGER HAVE A "BABY"


I'm woken up at 8:30AM daily to the cutest, most painful fistful of my neck caught between the fingers of an adorable 7 month old girl.  Sofia now figures out that by grabbing on with full force and pulling toward her mouth, she can get anything her little heart desires

7 MONTHS OLD:
Holy cow.  Can I just start off by saying this has been one of the funnest months we've had so far?  Cuz it has been. Sofia has been skilled, yes SKILLED I tell you, at using those tiny paws of hers lately.  Whether it means waking me up in the morning, grabbing for my boobs, grabbing the spoon out of my hand (or water bottle I'm drinking) the girl knows what she wants, darnit.  It's been hilarious to see her scootch across the floor reaching as hard as she can to try and get the toy that happens to be so ironically just out of reach.

My Current Stats:
Weight: 20lbs
Teeth: none
Hair: longer
Tricks: sitting up by myself

We're closer than we've ever been to getting Sofia to sit alone without me having to be nearby.  She's been getting really good at it, but I still don't trust her enough to walk away.  One of the funniest things Erick and I have noticed her doing lately happens as she gets frustrated... she'll be laying on her stomach looking at her toys, realize she can't grab onto the one that she wants and then consequently bury her face in her blanket and mumble something along to herself as loud as she can.  We were laughing so hard that now, this is a funny game.  She'll say something into the blanket, we laugh, then she laughs.  Cause and effect.  It's happening.  ALL OVER THE PLACE.


GIVE ME THAT CAMERA, MOM.  I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.


I'M GOING TO TURN LIKE THIS, OKAY?


Gosh, little lady.  You sure are becoming your own adorable little person.  I love you.

** PS- little adorbs owl plush was made for Sof by a good friend and you can find them here!

    I love that owl plush and she is so cute! I love her little smile. Alyson didn't get her first teeth for a while and she got like 4 all within 2 weeks.

    Love, Jazmyn♥

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

bump : week 33

The cold weather made being able to see my burgeoning baby bump over the layers of clothing nearly impossible, but it didn't stop us from going and having an adventure.  Yesterday Erick, Sofia, baby and I took a hike in a muddy forest just outside of the city.  Baby is stronger than ever, jabbing and kicking with such force that sometimes all I can do is just sit down and laugh.  My belly will bounce and ripple, and every now and again I'll catch Sofia or Erick looking over with a wide-eyed stare.  We can't wait to find out who it is that's growing in here and causing such a ruckus! The reality is truly starting to set in, and I've been reading up a lot on water birth and catching up on episodes of The Midwives I've downloaded (I cry every time!)  This pregnancy journey has been so much fun.  Relaxed, exciting, and fun. Huge smile! WEARING: KNIT DRESS IN BLACK BY AMERICAN APPAREL  |  PHOTOS: BY ERICK ...

Hello, It's Me

* screeeeeeech.... opens door * Hello? Are you in there? I'm baaaaaaack! Holy shnikeys! It's only been a good two years or so. Talk about a blogging hiatus. So, after many many failed attempts at fancy Squarespace sites and having absolutely zero direction on which way I wanted to go, I found myself right back here. Good 'ol blogger. Good 'ol free simple template. Good 'ol feed with all my old friends. It's been a long, long time. And it feels weird! But I'm dusting off the cobwebs anyway and just writing because I need to. Plain and simple. Now, a few things-- the blog title is a bit different. My kiddos are nearly three and five years old so diapers [thankfully] are a thing of the past. Hallelujah! And if you haven't heard, folks, skinny jeans are out. They're done! Bring on the bellbottoms, culottes and 90's fashion revival. You heard it here first, everyone. Just wait.  Also. Growing up. I kinda laugh at how much...
